Art Week

Texture is the feeling, appearance or consistency of an object or material. 

It can be natural or man-made, functional or decorative. Artists try to replicate the texture of the subject to make their work look as realistic as possible.

We use out pencils to create different textures. Our pencils can give us different tones. Tone is the degree of darkness and lightness.

 This term the children will be looking at Abstract Art.

Abstract art is art that does not attempt to represent an accurate depiction of a visual reality but instead use shapes, colours, forms and gestural marks to achieve its effects.

Abstract

This week we have been learning all about space-themed abstract art. We focused on abstract space artist Peter Thorpe, who is well known for painting rockets.

The children have been trying to create abstract drawing in the style of Peter Thorpe.

Spring 2

The children will be looking at David Edgar art work this term.

Local artist David Edgar creates artwork out of post-consumer recyclables he finds in recycling bins. Edgar says making this art “energizes his creative spirit.” Edgar received an award for Best Original Artwork at the recent Tryon Arts and Crafts School’s 2017 Artist of the Year Show.

As you can see below, they are some pictures showing what the effect are having to animals. David has discovered by using your imaginations, you can create amazing object such as 2D animals, Holiday decorations such as snowflakes and Toys such as A Rock and Roll Racing Car.

He has created some amazing art work.

The children began to create their own versions of some of David's designs.
